Couldn't have asked for more. The house itself is inviting and accommodating. The setting is lovely and offers places to sit under covered porches. Host responded immediately to all inquiries. We had a family reunion here and everyone was pleased.

Beautiful property. Great host! I don't ever think it took more than a few hours for Matt to answer any question. Fantastic for big groups. Plenty to keep the kids busy. Well maintained and helpful signs on site for lights, fans and other amenities. You're out in the country, but the city and shopping are not too far away.

This cabin was just what we needed. The location was quiet, but was really only a 10-minute drive from town. We were especially pleased with the way it was set up for children....lots of games and such that kept our 3 year-old occupied and our 1 year-old out of trouble. We had a bit of rain, but between showers we were able to make much use of the yard and lawn play items. Hot tub was perfect for after the little ones were in bed. Kitchen was thougtfully organized and even included plates/cups/silverware for the kids. Front Royal is a lovely town and is near lots of family recreational options.

Shenandoah Valley Wine Weekend

Comfortable and nice layout for group of nine friends during extended wine tasting weekend. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked as we do most of our cooking on these types of outings. Communication with owner was timely and responsive. Even the wildlife (deer, woodchuck, bunnies, etc.) were fun to watch as we relaxed on the back porch. All-in-all, a fantastic place to stay in a beautiful part of Virginia.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad the layout worked well for your group and that the kitchen had everything you needed for your weekend of cooking and wine tasting. It’s great to hear you enjoyed relaxing on the porch and spotting some of the local wildlife too. We appreciate your kind words and would love to host you again on your next visit to the area!

Character and comfort

This home had a lot of character and charm that also offered convenience and comfort. Plenty of space yet cozy, activities indoors and out to include tables games, fire pit and hot tub, remote feeling but only a few miles from town and, hospitality which met us with a basket of snacks, coffee pods, hot chocolate and creamer along with other amenities that made it a “must come back”! I would definitely recommend this property for any occasion.

Graduation family fun

The house looked exactly as it did on-line. The beds were so very comfortable. Every single part of the property felt like home. Every person that stayed was comfortable and accommodated. The children were able to be kids and have fun and the adults had their own fun too. The old house is such a neat part of the property, as well. It was integrated into the house perfectly. Any time I ever had a question I would simply ask the owner and he would respond back immediately. This house is very close to town, but yet secluded away from the world enough that you felt like one with nature. I actually live close by, but was unable to accommodate everyone. Rather than have everyone stay in separate hotels I decided to rent a place. I'm so glad I chose this place!! I will be sure to refer people as well as use this home owner for any other get aways we will need in the future.

The exterior grounds are under construction. The porches are filthy and in need of a good cleaning. The interior looked clean but the floors and bathrooms need a good scrubbing. There are no cleaning supplies for the kitchen, floors or bathrooms. The 1st floor bed room has a bad odor. The bathrooms are dated and in dire need of a plumbing upgrade as there is no cold water in the second floor sink (valve broken) and there is very little hot water in any of the showers/tubs. The plumbing needs to be rebalanced as well as the HVAC. The basement and 1st floor bedroom were very cold when the 2nd floor rooms were extremely hot. The hot tub needed its water changed after a summer of sunscreen and oils the water was very cloudy and there was a ring of slimy material around the edge.Matt has done a great job decorating but, the mechanics of the house (plumbing and HVAC) need to be addressed. Matt is a very nice host and responds to text messages very quickly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’d like to provide some context for future guests reading this review. This stay took place shortly after we updated several backyard amenities, which resulted in temporary exterior landscaping work and no active construction is present at the property. The guest also arrived before our scheduled cleaning and inspection were fully completed. We communicated this and offered to delay access, but the guest preferred to proceed. The home is professionally cleaned and stocked between every stay. Cleaning supplies are available in the laundry room for guest convenience and are regularly replenished, though guests are never expected to clean. We would have been happy to point these out, restock if needed, or address any concerns had we been notified during the stay. Regarding the upstairs sink, the cold-water valve was found shut off and was immediately turned back on once we became aware. The hot tub is professionally managed with routine draining, refilling, and chemical balancing. During this nine-day stay it was used frequently, and we are always happy to provide additional service during longer visits if requested. Our HVAC and plumbing systems are inspected and maintained on a regular schedule, and there are no known ongoing issues. We remain committed to providing a clean, well-maintained, and comfortable home, and we encourage guests to reach out during their stay so we can resolve anything promptly.

Comfortable Gathering Place for Family Reunion

Our group of family members, all seniors living in different states, chose this place to gather for our annual get together when we learned our Washington State sibling was going to attend the national sheepdog finals at nearby Belle Grove. Matt is the best when it comes to communication ... he is fast, detailed, and pleasant to work with. Not that we needed much, the property was very well set up for hosting. The home had a very well stocked kitchen (almost more pots and pans than you could count), a good island, and a large table that accommodated all of us easily. We cooked at home multiple times and it worked well. A "must" for us is gathering spaces and we had that in the large "great room" as well as a large porch in front and another in back, perfect to different times of day. On this trip we didn't take advantage of the several game rooms, hot tub, and fire pit but nice to have the options. There were full baths on each floor, two on the main floor; our ideal house would be everything on one floor (just about everyone has bad knees at this stage in our lives) but few of those exist and we made this work for us. You are definitely in the country, but close enough to Front Royal and Strasburg for shopping, restaurants, and things to do (beyond going to the dogs). Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review! We’re honored you chose our home for such a meaningful family gathering, and we’re glad it worked well as a comfortable place to come together from so many different states. It’s wonderful to hear the kitchen, dining space, and gathering areas supported your time together, and that the porches offered great spots to enjoy different parts of the day. We also appreciate your kind words about communication—it was truly a pleasure hosting your group. Thank you for the recommendation, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime your travels bring you to the area again.
